Texas Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant doesn't support immigration reform because he's pretty sure he'd lose in a heartbeat if more Latinos voted. We've all heard this argument plenty of times and here's the thing: if someone started on the path to citizenship tomorrow, they wouldn't have the right to vote for thirteen years or more, the way the bill is written. In other words, people like Kenny don't think thirteen years is enough time to mend fences with Latino voters and be competitive with that demographic. My guess is because they don't even want to try.

Rand Paul is no friend of democracy. And people who aren't friends of democracy -- no matter how much they pretend otherwise -- are not friends of freedom. Rand thinks the proles (meaning you) don't know what's good for them.
